All I knew (before writing this) about pasteurization was that it makes milk safer to drink, and that the French don’t pasteurize their cheese. I was curious about what pasteurization actually meant, so I did some research! I think knowing about processes so important...

By now, you’ve probably heard that the meat industry is bad for our planet. There’s a lot about the environment that feels out of our hands—we are constantly surrounded by bad news, and it’s difficult to figure out what we can do to help. In all this uproar, you’ve...

 It looks too big to tackle, but just start climbing and see what happens Momentum First point of business is to apologize for the long delay in posting. Apportis is going through some major growth and I have been focusing on everything else, leaving little time for...

I just got back from vacation. It was great, don’t get me wrong. But after a week or two of sitting around, having nothing pressing to do...I was ready to have something to do. This morning, I woke up ready to work.   Vacations are great because you get to...

If you haven’t heard by now, you’re in for a treat: dark chocolate is jam-packed with health benefits, giving us all an excuse to indulge. Before you go to the grocery store to buy some, we thought we’d give you the dish. 😉   The difference between dark and milk...

It’s summer time! At the risk of sounding like your mother, we’re here to remind you of the importance of wearing sunscreen. We know you know it’s important, but let’s be honest—how much SPF are you wearing as you read this? If you’re a sunscreen expert, you can skip...

My family has had a four-day vacation planned to New Orleans for months now.  Possibly the worst timing to start a new diet and wellness routine when you go to a city known for incredible food! I tried my best to not eat everything in sight, limit my beignet (French...

APPORTIS makes USA Weekly article

I am a person with a lot of moles.  Having grown up around the Equator during the 1970's and 1980's I have always been sun-conscious and certainly conscious about my skin.  After my first wife - Mitsy - passed away in March 2015 from Melanoma Cancer, this...

I am sure we can all admit at times we sit in the stillness of our abodes and think about the "highs and lows" from the day and how we reacted.   This is a good skill for progress and self-analysis. Nowadays the realm of work and/or the workplace is an anxious arena...

Great little read I picked up this morning on how to get your mind and body right as you begin your productive day. One key point that I took from this article, that I would like to share with you all, along with my thoughts on the matter is, no e-mailing or fiddling...
